Vintage Vogue by GW

I guess vintage all depends on how old you are. I really wish you wouldn’t spray the air freshener makes me nauseous and sick. The women from Carmel won’t even going there anyway;)

Friendly people, and a chance to get some New With Tag items and fancier used items, etc. at slightly higher-​than-​regular-​Goodwill prices. Sure, you might find comparable deals for somewhat cheaper prices at the regular Goodwill, but if you’re not in the mood for hunting around, then this is the place to go. I go to both the regular Goodwill around the corner and this one, and usually find something I want at the «vintage» store.

Mostly clothes. I’m on the fence about this place, because it’s basically just a goodwill with higher prices and smaller inventory… that said, it has the higher-​end clothing that was donated from Goodwill, so I’m sure it’s handy for some. I definitely think that calling it ‘vintage’ is a stretch. When I think vintage I think older goods, but their version just means used. If you aren’t looking for used clothing, I wouldn’t bother checking it out.

Drove from Mooresville to check this out – very disappointing! Mostly clothing & other reviewers are right-you’ll be just as successful at the regular Goodwill. Or, if you happen to be in Broadripple-​try the Toggery, a consignment shop just down the street from Vintage Vogue GW.

I am a thrift-​store, bargain hunting, clearance loving freak.
Vintage Vogue by GW takes some of the thrill of the hunt out of things for me as they tend to pull the «fancier» or «higher end» brands and products out of the stuff donated to the ‘regular’ GW stores and they place these goodies all in one place here… but I still love it. So why the docked star, you ask? Let me tell you.
First — I feel that this place tends to still be quite pricey — even for gently used good stuff. Some things found here are very well loved and worn, and still pricey despite being on their last legs — just because of the brand name. Sure, I would gladly spend $ 16 instead of $ 100 for a pair of good jeans… but it IS Goodwill, after all.
Secondly, the store name is a bit of a misnomer as there are rarely ‘vintage’ items here — at least not more so than the isles at your local GW stores. Just a heads up if you are looking for truly vintage goodies. Hit the other vintage spots in BRip instead.
Little known tip: this location does participate in half-​off first Saturdays like regular GW stores, too! Just don’t get in my way as I am powering through the racks ;)…

I read some of the below comments, and while I agree with some things, please note: A LOT of the clothes here are BRAND. NEW. Like, still have the tags on and everything.
I really like Vintage Vogue, it’s still the cool and salvagey feel of a goodwill sans that «goodwill smell» and has left «junk» to sift through. On my last trip I bought a brand new pair of white jeans (tags still attached) that when I looked up online were retailing for $ 68…for $ 6! Now, I understand that the prices are a little more than your local goodwill, but keep in mind that you are paying for more quality items, nicer brands, and gently to none worn items. In my opinion, Vintage Vogue is the place to go when your thrifty bug hits, and while the prices may be a little higher, they are still significantly less than most other thrift stores!

I have to second what other Unilocalers are saying. This is not at all a vintage shop. It is literally a Goodwill with higher prices and less organization. The staff was friendly, but that’s about all I can say in this place’s favor. If you’re looking for true vintage or unique clothing, this is probably not going to give you what you want.
Their pricing seemed very inconsistent. While I was there I looked at a blouse I liked marked for 16 and then an overcoat (nicer in my opinion) marked for 12. I didn’t understand the pricing at all. I won’t be back.

Well, it’s a Goodwill, only with higher prices. And the clothes are arranged by color. What? Still, some decent stuff, and because it’s smaller, finding something doesn’t require a lot of digging.

Don’t be fooled by the name this is not a vintage store. Went in looking for vintage clothing and all they had was new clothing! It’s more like a platos closet for an older crowd. If you’re going to advertise yourself as a vintage store you should actually have vintage!

Ok, here’s the deal: It’s not really vintage. That’s just an advertising term, not how people normally think of vintage clothing or furnishings. But the items are better quality and cleaner, and the store is cleaner and nicer than a regular Goodwill. The store is boutique-​y. Mostly women’s items but some men’s.
I found the pair of men’s cargo shorts here, that I was looking for, but couldn’t find at the regular Goodwill around the corner.
Things seem priced more than twice as high as a regular Goodwill, but here’s how to play the price game: they give 50% off for items that have been in the store for so many weeks. The week number is written on the back upper corner of the tags. When you go in, ask them what week number is on sale. That number and anything older is marked down 50% at the register.
For instance, today, week 29 is on sale. The tag on the shorts said «26» so I got 50% off.
You also get 50% off all items on the first Saturday of the month. And then there’s 30% (or 50%?) discount if you’re 55 or older, any day. But she said discounts are not cumulative, you get a max of 50% off.
I agree with some other reviewers, that this store is not such a great deal, in terms of dollars, if you’re willing to sort through all the lesser junk at a regular Goodwill, or keep driving around to various GWs/​yard sales to find something nice. So in a sense, you’re paying for the pre-​sorted convenience of nicer stuff.
If you want super-​dooper bargains, cheapest of all, go to the GW «Outlet Store» on Georgetown Rd, just south of 86^th street. Just 69 cents/​pound, but you have to sort though a whole lot of junk.

Primarily clothes. just mainly ‘better brands’, not necessarily vintage. Nothing for kids. Expensive shoes. Went looking for some vintage housewares a couple times. Found something once, but luck out far more often at regular Goodwills. it smells nice in there though.

Well I read the other reviews and I have to disagree, I found the store delightful and a welcome change from typical Goodwill. I talked to the young ladies working and said what a pleasant experience it was shopping there. They told me the items offered are taken from overstock that would typically be warehoused. They do not pull from existing merchandise at GWs but from items that would be warehoused because there is no room for them in the GW store. So for those who still wish to treasure hunt at GW this does not preempt that thrill.
For me, though, I liked that the items were somewhat more selective than a typical GW. I found three shirts which on any given day I would look at 3 different GWs around town and not find one. My total cost on them was $ 19.25. An Old Navy, Lee Rider and Tommy Bahama ($ 10 of the $ 19). For me it was more akin to consignment shopping and priced accordingly.
I definitely think it’s worth a look on any given day. The store is very nice and it’s a more pleasant shopping experience than most consignment shops.

I was so looking forward to the Vintage Vogue coming opening in Indy after my girlfriend kept bragging about it in Bloomington. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed after seeing the ‘not so vintage’ and ‘not so different than any other GW’ clothing, shoes & accessories.
Think Goodwill with the prices on steriods (shoes for $ 20?!). Not that the cream of the crop isn’t worth paying a little extra for. Only what I saw was a lot of ‘No Boundaries’ (Wal-​Mart brand) and the like being peddled as upper quality clothing.
Nah. I’ll do the picking or better yet, find my treasures at a garage sale for $ 1 or less.

I went to their Grand Opening today because I misread and was thinking that the 1^st 200 member customers would receive $ 5 off their minimum purchase of $ 5. However, the special was to receive an email of $ 5 (like a coupon) toward a FUTURE purchase at that store only (although the cashier told me that I could use it at any Goodwill).
On the positive, I bought this floral-​pictured napkins placement holder of an English collection for $ 7.
This store, as by its name, has antique-​like items of adult clothes and shoes, frames, games, purses, jewelry, etc. Simply put, the store is unique. It is located in the same atmosphere as other Broad Ripple stores.
Great that there were 50% off racks.
However, I don’t know if I would return there. I enjoy the typical Goodwill stores much better.
